Something I noticed in my Honda 1/1 when changing out the transmission fluid was a magnet at the bottom of the pan. Seems like a good idea in this application because those gears really like to eat each other up and the magnet would help prevent those shavings from getting continuously cycled through all the gears with the oil splash.

Good idea, A small high powered magnet glued into the case somewhere would be great. I have seen those magnets somewhere, I will have to look again.

See if you can find a small “rare earth magnet”. They are strong and hold their power almost forever.
